I have so many happy memories of our times together in both Alexandria and New York. I am very lucky to still have your son Fahad, and his family in my life. We had Christmas dinner together this year. Be at peace.

Getting to know Saad, and his loving family, was one of the joys of my time , as US Consul General ,in Alexandria Egypt. I still recall how he relished big US steaks (when I could get them from supplies in a pass US Navy ship!) And our close freindship got to continue during his extended stay in New York City. He was a man who represented the Kingdom well, wherever he was posted, loved his family, and knew how to be a friend. I miss him still. His memory is a blessing to all who were fortunate to know him.

Farewell to a man of many words
Farewell to the speaker of the truth
Farewell to a mind who's thoughts always opened debates
Farewell to a heart hypocrisy was never its trait
But who's voice will echo in the ears of many
For all that he was will continue through the years
For all that I am is a vision that he saw
Through his children, and his grand kids
His memory will pass on .
Farewell my father,
Farewell my prince.
